IE Modding Digest: Volume XVI
Monday, July 7, 2008

After a week of deadly calm, we have the week of erebusant. So busy has he been that much of this fortnight pertains to his releases. Let’s check them out.

Sword Coast musing in many languages
erebusant has released dialogue patches for Northern Tales of the Sword Coast and Secret of Bonehill, each with three new translations. To experience this European goodness, check the release threads here, and here, respectively. Don’t forget that these patches require the base package to be installed first. These can be found here and here.

A vault of stinking goodness!
The Vault modification, originally authored by Josh Clue, has made its way into the Baldur’s Gate Trilogy platform, with erebusant releasing version 6 of the modification for Baldur’s Gate Trilogy only. The modification was originally a revamp of the BG:TotSC Items Pack, but has evolved to include a number of small quests as well. Download the modification here.

Put your thinking caps on
erebusant continues by producing a compatibility-friendly version of Josh Clue‘s Azengaard Tactical Encounter modification, which adds two challenging encounters into Baldur’s Gate II: Throne of Bhaal. Now you can safely put this modification into the friendship group of all the others. Download it here.

Finally, something other than erebusant
Well, the humble ones have to make their mark somewhere. Firstly, Miloch has updated pro5’s P5Tweaks modification to version 2, which sports improved installation and compatibility along with a new “Drop Items on Petrification” component. Well, who doesn’t spasm in shock when they turn into stone, thereby dropping all their paraphernalia? Furthermore, it is available in three juicy platforms, PC, Linux, and OSX. Find out more and download the mod at any of these links.

Beregost is not a place to crash
Sure there are many an inn in Beregost, but it is certainly not a place to have your party [gate]-crashed by exception errors. I have updated the Beregost Crash Fixer utility to version 1.3, which now produces backups of your saved games properly and introduces a second method of fixing corrupted Baldur’s Gate (with or without Tales of the Sword Coast), BG1Tutu, EasyTutu, and Baldur’s Gate Trilogy saved games. Find the utility here, and don’t forget you need Java Runtime Environment 1.6 or higher to run the utility.
